Pickin and Flyin

Saturday was the perfect day. The weather was gorgeous, so we had to get outside.

First we went to Homestead Orchard to pick some apples.

The kids each got a bag and headed out to pick.

It was fun watching how excited they were.

Cole kept doing his cheese ball smile (which he does on command, also).

The orchard was started by and is still run by a family that lives on the orchard. They make their own honey there, also. The bees were blocked off, but Ryan was able to take a minute to show the kids where they make honey in the distance.

It's a very quaint and beautiful little place. We headed home with 2 bags of apples and some honey. So far, we've enjoyed eating the apples plain and in apple crisp. My first attempt at apple pie is coming in the next few days ;)

Later that afternoon, we headed to our "backyard" to fly our kite.

The kids (and Ryan and I) love flying the kite. It's just one of those simple joys in life!

It was a great family day, spent in beautiful weather. Perfect!
